Use EMS There are several drop off points in every city. Not been in KMG long enough to find my nearest yet.
This is government owned courier service.
Cheap, fast, reliable.
I have used them a lot and never had a problem.

You won't find many big old houses like the French Concession. But Green Lake (Cui Hu) is moving in that direction. Accomodation around the lake and just south of it varies from crappy concrete to modern apartments of about 120-180 sqm. The larger modern apts are about 5-8000 rmb/month, some have a view of the lake. I have also seen nice loft accommodation come up.
Most of the bars and restaurants haunted by expats are on WenHua Xiang and WenLin Jie. The accommodation in this area is pretty basic concrete and small. This is about 1km north of Green Lake. Close to Yunnan uni.
Also, from S of Green Lake, it is a 2-3km walk to the city centre, and a whole new bar and restaurant area has sprung up on route.
I am looking for men's summer hats. Like quality straw panama hats. Anybody know where or how much?
We used Asian Express to move us from a tier 3 city to Kunming. Even though they have not presence in Kunming, they will move you.
Asian Express is a removals company that does international. They are very professional and what is more, responsible. In a previous move they mislaid something (non valuable) and actually checked all the links of the route and recovered it about 3 days later. Asian Express is double the price of hiring a local crew. A 1000km move with 30cu.m cost us about 25k RMB.
We used a local company when we moved from Shenzhen. Really just a guy with a truck and labourers. They lost boxes and really did not give a flying fig. I am sure stuff was stolen and the boss may have been part of it. We also had to arrange our own unloaders at the other end.
We have used Asian Express twice now and would definitely use them again. It is worth the extra money for the peace of mind.
Q: Do you have any children from a previous marriage?
A: No.
Q: Do you have ANY children?
A: No that I know of.
The point is that it is easy to prove if you have children, but as a man it is almost impossible to prove that you don't.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
China International Travel Mart set to open in Kunming
Posted byIf you are going as a member of the public, be aware that in every show I have been to in Chin, exhibitors start 'breaking down' the stands at lunch time. I know it is open until 5pm, but many exhibitors will have already gone.
If you want to see as much as you can, you really do need to go early. Unless you want to buy tea or jade ;-)
